International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme

At International School Eerde we offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for students aged between 16 and 19. This internationally acclaimed qualification is a globally recognised university entrance qualification.

It encourages shared academic experience, critical thinking and intercultural understanding. There are two levels: higher level (HL) and standard level (SL). The philosophy of the IBDP is that students should engage with a range of subjects while being able to explore specific areas of personal interest in great depth. The course spans over two years. A minimum of 150 hours of instructional time is recommended for SL courses and 240 instructional hours for HL courses. All lessons are taught in English.
